The essentials of good tissue practice


Good tissue practice is highly essential in laboratory techniques because there are many tissues that are cultured because of want of study material. Usually, it is not easy to stumble upon strong, good tissue as the samples are rare and few. To counter this problem, technicians usually try to preserve good tissue and keep grafting new tissue from the root tissue. When this is not possible, experiments are conducted on sub-standard tissues which result in inferences which are not totally reliable.

Especially in pharmacology and genetics, it is very important to have good tissue practice in place as these are highly specialized disciplines of study which cannot be performed with sub-standard tissue.

Preservation is another feature that is highly crucial in good tissue practice. It is also important to set up temperature monitoring during the monitoring procedure so as to make sure that the tissue does not go bad or give out abnormal results.

Certification can be obtained if good tissue practice is carried out with adherence to laboratory standards and parameters. Licenses can be obtained if the laboratory has reputation as a practitioner of hygienic and good practices in tissue culture and management.
